Better Than the Movies

“Besides, what's more fun than a story that starts with a fake relationship?”

The audible evil laugh that left my body when I read this line....

This has been in my ‘to be read' pile for a while now and I am so happy I decided to finally pick it up and read it.

It is so cliche in the best way. The type of way that makes you want to scream and kick your feet like a teenager and I am not embarrassed to admit that I love those types of stories.

I think we have all had that crush on someone who has felt so attainable yet unattainable at the same time. This really brought me back to those feelings before I discovered what love actually felt like and it made me feel giddy in a nostalgic way.

“You look best when you're you.”

If someone ever said this to me I swear that I would just melt. This is the sweetest sentence that could ever be said to someone.

I am a sucker for male protagonists who are just complete himbos in the best ways and I am so happy I got that in Wes. He instantly became a favourite for me, definitely a comfort character. I can't get over how beautifully written he was, he definitely made this story ten times better for me.

Is it silly that I fell more in love with this book purely because they mentioned another one of my favourites (Gone Girl)? The minute Liz and Wes brought it up I started beaming.

“Please don't ever become a strangerWhose laugh I could recognize anywhere—”

These lyrics always make me want to crawl into a ball and sob so to have them featured in this book ruined my life in the best way possible (and worst way).

“Nah—I didn't like you until recently.”“Enemies-to-lovers—it's our trope, Buxbaum.”

This book actually had me laughing out loud and that's why it gets such a high rating from me. You know I really enjoyed a book when my review is just me making no sense but this book just made me feel something and that's why it got 5 stars which is rare as hell for me.

I will definitely be rereading this in the future.
